Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a solvent extrac ⁇ tion process for separating heavy hydrocarbon materials into their component parts. More particularly, the present invention relates to a continuous solvent deasphalting process wherein controlled reductions in operating pressures are utilized to enhance the selec ⁇ tivity of the extraction solvent employed.
  • solvent extraction to separate heavy hydrocarbon materials such as, for example, steam and vacuum reduced crudes into two or more of their component parts is well known.
  • many different solvent extraction processes have been proposed or are in use for performing the separation.
  • One widely employed solvent extraction process utilizing a vertically positioned extraction vessel, is the relatively low temperature, countercurrent flow, solvent deasphalting process described in R. A. Meyers' Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes. Part 8.1, pp 19-51, McGraw-Hill Book Co., N.Y., N.Y. (1986).
  • this process entails diluting a heavy hydrocarbon material or feedstock with a quantity of an extraction solvent, adjusting the diluted feedstock to the desired extraction temperature and introducing the diluted feedstock into a medial section of the extraction vessel. Contemporaneously with the introduction of the diluted feedstock, further extraction solvent is introduced into a bottom section of the extraction vessel whereby the feedstock and extraction solvent undergo intimate contact while flowing in countercurrent directions. This contact results in the lower molecular weight components contained in the feedstock being extracted therefrom and in the formation of separate and distinct extract and raffinate phases.
  • the extract phase thus formed contains the lower molecular weight hydrocarbon components of the feedstock (which components comprise a so-called deasphalted oil) and the major portion of the solvent while the raffinate phase contains the remaining higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components of the feedstock, (including the high molecular weight asphaltenes and intermediate molecular weight resins) as well as the Conradson carbon precursors and the bulk of the heavy metals contained therein and a residual portion of the solvent.
  • the present invention relates to a continuous, relatively low temperature deas ⁇ phalting process in which a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock material and an extraction solvent are contacted, preferably in a countercurrent flow relationship, at elevated subcritical temperatures and superatmospheric pressures, in an extraction zone to produce a first light extract phase rich in lower molecular weight hydrocarbon components and a first heavy raffinate phase rich in higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components, Conradson carbon precursors and heavy metals.
  • the present invention comprises continuously effecting a reduction in the pressure upon the first light extract phase produced within the extrac ⁇ tion zone.
  • This pressure reduction results in a decrease in the density of the extraction solvent contained in this first light extract phase, the rejection of any residual higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components, Conradson carbon precursors and heavy metals dissolved or entrained therein and the production of a second light extract phase enriched in the lower molecular weight hydrocarbon components and a second heavy raffinate phase enriched in the higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components, Conradson carbon precursors and heavy metals.
  • the improvement of the present invention further comprises recovering the second heavy raffinate phase, repressurizing it to the pressures prevailing within the extraction zone and reintroducing it into the extraction zone to provide a source of external reflux for the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock material and extraction solvent being contacted therein.
  • Figure 1 is a diagrammatical illustration of one embodiment of the invention wherein the pressure reduction is performed within the extraction zone.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatical illustration of another embodiment of the invention wherein the pressure reduction is performed outside the extraction zone.
  • the present invention relates to improvements in the continuous solvent deasphalting of heavy hydrocarbon materials and which materials include pyrogenous bitumens, native bitumens and one or more fractions or components thereof.
  • pyrogenous bitumens include heavy or very low API gravity petroleum crudes, reduced crudes (both steam and vacuum distilled) , hard and soft wood pitches, coal tar residues, cracked tars, tall oil and the like.
  • native bitumens include gilson- ite, wurzilite, albertite and the like and native asphalts such as, for example, Trinidad asphalt and the like.
  • one or more fractions or components thereof is meant a pyrogenous or native bitumen from which a portion or the total asphaltene content has been removed or from which the total asphaltene content as well as a portion of the resin content have been removed.
  • contactor towers and the like have been and are employ ⁇ ed.
  • the present invention particularly is applicable to those extraction processes utilizing the aforementioned extraction towers and in which towers the heavy hydrocarbon material and extraction solvent are added to the towers individually and contacted therein in a countercurrent flow relationship. Due to the fact that the use of countercurrent contact between the heavy hydrocarbon material and extraction solvent provides for a much more effective means for separating a heavy hydrocarbon material, this means has been selected for purposes of simplifying the explanation and description of the present invention.
  • a liquid feedstock comprising a heavy hydrocarbon material such as, for example, a reduced crude
  • a conduit 10 is introduced via a conduit 10 into a medial section of a high pressure compartment 12 of an extraction zone 14.
  • the liquid feedstock may be prediluted, depending upon its original viscosity and flow characteristics, in a mixing zone (not shown) with a portion of the total hydrocarbon solvent utilized in effecting the extraction of the liquid feedstock.
  • the amount of the hydrocarbon solvent which can be mixed with the liquid feedstock can range from 0 to about 70 volume percent of the total hydrocarbon solvent employed in the extraction stage with an amount in the range of from about 10 to about 25 volume percent being preferred.
  • the amount of the hydrocarbon solvent mixed with the liquid feedstock then will be the total amount of the solvent required to effect the desired extraction.
  • the hydrocarbon solvent which will comprise a light organic material selected from the group consisting of paraffinic hydrocarbons containing from about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms is introduced into a lower section of the high pressure compartment 12. This introduction is achieved via a solvent conduit 16.
  • the amount of the hydrocarbon solvent introduced via the solvent conduit 16 will be an amount which upon contact with the liquid feedstock or prediluted liquid feedstock in the high pressure compartment 12 will provide an extraction mixture containing a solvent to liquid feedstock volume ratio ranging from about 4:1 to about 20:1.
  • the heavier liquid feedstock compris ⁇ ing a dispersed phase within the extraction mixture
  • the lighter hydrocarbon solvent comprising a continuous phase within the extrac ⁇ tion mixture
  • This counter ⁇ current flow maximizes the extraction of the descending droplets of the liquid feedstock by the rising hydrocar- bon solvent thus providing for greater dissolution of the lower molecular weight hydrocarbons components (i.e., the oil components) contained in the liquid feedstock.
  • temperatures maintained within the extraction zone 14 generally will range from about 45°C to about 252"C but always below the critical temperature of the particular hydrocarbon solvent being employed.
  • propane the operating temperatures most usually employed will range from about 45°C to about 82°C while the critical temperature of propane is about 97°C.
  • the temperatures which will be utilized and maintained within the extraction zone 14 will range from about 5°C to about 20°C or more below the critical temperature of the particular hydrocarbon solvent employed.
  • the extraction zone 14 also will be maintained at superatmospheric pressures.
  • the pressures maintained within extraction zone 14 will range from above about the equilibrium vapor pressure of the particular hydrocarbon solvent being utilized at the elevated subcritical temperature employed up to or above about the critical pressure of the hydrocarbon solvent.
  • the liquid feedstock introduced into the high pressure compartment 12 undergoes fractionation into a first light extract phase comprising the lower molecular weight hydrocarbon components (i.e., the light oil components) and a major portion of the hydrocarbon solvent and a first heavy raffinate phase comprising the remainder of the liquid feedstock, i.e., the higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components,
  • the first light extract phase is collected in an upper or rectifi ⁇ cation section of the high pressure compartment 12 while the first heavy raffinate phase is collected in a lower or stripping section thereof.
  • This first heavy raffinate phase is withdrawn from the high pressure compartment 12 of the extraction zone 14 by way of a raffinate conduit 26. Once the first heavy raffinate phase is withdrawn from the extraction zone 14 it is stripped of its residual hydrocarbon solvent content in a solvent recovery zone (not shown) such as a stripper.
  • the first light extract phase which continuously collects in the upper section of the high pressure com ⁇ partment 12, is withdrawn therefrom and conveyed through a pressure reduction compartment 18 located immediately adjacent to and above the upper section of the high pressure compartment 12 and immediately adjacent to and below a lower section of a low pressure compartment 20.
  • the pressure reduction compartment 18 can comprise an area equipped with either a series of horizontally positioned, spaced apart trays or plates such as sieve, bubble-cap or valve- type trays or an area filled with any of a number of different packing materials such as rasching, lessing or pall rings or berl or intalox saddles and the like.
  • such devices effectively function to provide a reduction or drop in pressure upon the first light extract phase as this phase is conveyed through the pressure reduction compartment 18.
  • the pressure upon this phase is reduced.
  • the purpose of this pressure reduction is to effect a decrease in the density of the hydrocarbon solvent contained in the first extract phase.
  • the extent of the pressure reduction or pressure drop within pressure reduction compartment 18 will be an amount sufficient to achieve the desired decrease in solvent density but insufficient to induce boiling of the hydrocarbon solvent employed at the particular extraction temperature being maintained in the extraction zone 14.
  • reductions in the pressure upon the first light extract phase ranging up to about 400 psi or higher, and preferably in the range of from about 200 to about 350 psi will be sufficient to provide the decreases in solvent density desired but insufficient to induce boiling of the hydrocarbon solvent.
  • the hydrocarbon solvent therein undergoes a decrease in density.
  • the affinity of the hydrocarbon solvent for any residual higher molecular weight hydro- carbon components, Conradson carbon precursors and heavy metals either dissolved or entrained in this first light extract phase also decreases. This results in the rejection of these residual materials from this phase.
  • this phase undergoes further phase separation into a second light extract phase which rises and collects in an upper section of the low pressure compartment 20 and a second heavy raffinate phase which settles and collects in the lower section of the low pressure compartment 20.
  • This pressure induced reduction in solvent density thus functions in a manner analogous to the use of steam coils in conventional solvent deasphalting processes to effect rectification or enrichment of the light extract phases produced therein.
  • the second light extract phase containing hydro- carbon solvent enriched in the lower molecular weight hydrocarbon components, i.e., the light oil components, is withdrawn from the extraction zone 14 and specifically from the upper section of the low pressure compartment 20 therein via an extract conduit 30.
  • This second light extract phase is withdrawn from the extraction zone 14, it is conveyed via the extract conduit 30 to a solvent recovery zone (not shown) wherein it is stripped of the hydrocarbon solvent contained therein.
  • stripping of the second light extract phase easily can be performed utilizing any of the well-known multiple effect and supercritical solvent recovery processes such as those described in R. A. Meyers, ibid., pp 30-34.
  • the second heavy raffinate phase comprising the rejected higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components, Conradson carbon precursors and heavy metals which settle and collect in the lower section of the low pressure compartment 20 is withdrawn therefrom via a raffinate conduit 22.
  • This withdrawn second heavy raffinate phase then is recycled back, either with or without additional heating of this phase, to the upper section of the high pressure compartment 12 of the extraction zone 14 by way of the raffinate conduit 22, a pump 24 (wherein this raffinate phase is repressurized to the operating pressure being maintained within the high pressure compartment 12 of the extraction zone 14) and a conduit 28.
  • this withdrawn second heavy raffinate phase constitutes a source of external reflux for the extraction process, and once returned to the high pressure compartment 12 of the extraction zone 14, functions to further enhance the separation of the liquid feedstock within the high pressure compartment 12 of the extraction zone 14.
  • the liquid feedstock is introduced via conduit 10 into a medial section of an extraction zone 14a which can comprise, for example, a vertically positioned "contactor” or “extractor” tower including towers of the rotating disc-type.
  • an extraction zone 14a can comprise, for example, a vertically positioned "contactor” or “extractor” tower including towers of the rotating disc-type.
  • the liquid feedstock can be prediluted in a mixing zone (not shown) with a portion of the total hydrocarbon solvent utilized to effect the extraction of the liquid feedstock.
  • a hydrocarbon solvent of the type described herein- above is introduced into a lower section of the extraction zone 14a via the solvent conduit 16.
  • the extraction mixture of the liquid feed ⁇ stock and the hydrocarbon solvent will be maintained at the elevated subcritical temperatures and superatmospheric pressures described above.
  • the first light extract phase produced thereby and comprising the lower molecular weight hydro ⁇ carbon components (i.e., the light oil components) and a major portion of the hydrocarbon solvent continuously collects in an upper or rectification section of the extraction zone 14a.
  • the first heavy raffinate phase comprising the remainder of the liquid feedstock components i.e., the higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components (including the asphaltenes and resins) , the Conradson carbon precursors and the heavy metals and the residual portion of the hydrocarbon solvent continuously collects in a lower section of the extraction zone 14a.
  • This first heavy raffinate phase is withdrawn from the lower section of the extraction zone 14a via the raffinate conduit 26 and is stripped of its residual portion of hydrocarbon solvent in a solvent recovery zone
  • the first light extract phase which continuously is collected in the upper or rectification section of the extraction zone 14a is withdrawn therefrom via the extract conduit 30.
  • the pressure upon this phase is reduced utilizing a pressure reduction means 32 which can be, for example, a conventional throttle valve.
  • the first light extract phase now at a pressure lower than the pressure in the extraction zone 14a, then is introduced via the extract conduit 30 into a low pressure phase separation zone 34.
  • this low pressure phase separation zone 34 the first light extract phase undergoes further separation into two additional phases.
  • These two additional phases include a second light extract phase comprising hydrocarbon solvent enriched in lower molecular weight hydrocarbon components (i.e., the light oil components) which phase rises and collects in an upper section of the phase separation zone 34, and a second heavy raffinate phase comprising rejected residual higher weight hydrocarbon components, Conradson carbon precursors and heavy metals dissolved or entrained in the first light extract phase and which second heavy raffinate phase settles and collects in a lower section of the phase separation zone 34.
  • this separation occurs due to the decrease in the density of the hydrocarbon solvent con ⁇ tained in the first light extract phase effected through the reduction in pressure upon the first extract phase.
  • the second light extract phase containing a major portion of the hydrocarbon solvent enriched in the light oil components, is withdrawn from the upper section of the phase separation zone 34 via extract conduit 36.
  • a solvent recovery zone (not shown) and the hydrocarbon solvent and the light oil components (com ⁇ prising a deasphalted oil product) individually recovered.
  • solvent recovery zone can include, as noted hereinabove, any of the multiple-effect and supercritical solvent recovery processes known and utilized in the petroleum refining industry.
  • this phase is withdrawn therefrom via a raffinate conduit 38.
  • This withdrawn raffinate phase like the second raffinate phase described with respect to the embodiment illustrated by Figure 1. also constitutes a source of external reflux which can be utilized for enhancing the selectivity of the extraction process.
  • at least a portion of the second heavy raffinate phase withdrawn from the low pressure phase separation zone 34 via raffinate conduit 38 is recycled back to extraction zone 14a.
  • the pump 42 functions to increase the pressure upon the second raffinate phase phase to the operating pressure being maintained within the extraction zone 14a. Any remaining portion of this second heavy raffinate phase not utilized as external reflux in the extraction zone 14a can be combined with the first heavy raffinate phase being conveyed through the raffinate conduit 26 or recovered as a separate product of the extraction process.
  • Such feedstock materials thus would contain only a portion or none of the asphal- tene components (i.e., the higher molecular weight hydrocarbon components) , most or all of the resin compon ⁇ ents (i.e., the intermediate molecular weight hydrocarbon components) and all of the light oil components (i.e., the lower molecular weight hydrocarbon components) .
  • the extract phases produced by the present invention will be comprised of the light oils and the majority of the hydrocarbon solvent and the raffinate phases a portion or none of the asphaltenes, all of the resins and any residual hydro- carbon solvent.
  • the present invention offers a more economical and advantageous solvent deasphalting process for the separation of heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks compared to solvent deasphalting processes utilizing temperature increases for this purpose.
